Project does not save

[annie-kim25]

p5.js version

1.11.13

What is your operating system?

None

Web browser and version

Google Chrome 150.0.7871.187 (Official Build) (arm64)

Actual Behavior

Whenever I try to save my p5js file, it displays an error message saying "Failure to save." I've tried quitting and reopening Google Chrome, but the issue still persists. Also, it was once temporarily fixed when I signed out and signed back in, but I started having issues again after editing it.

I'm not really sure if it actually doesn't save because sometimes it says saved ___ seconds ago, despite there being a message saying "Failure to save". However, I think it really doesn't save because when I tried reloading the page my progress was gone.

Expected Behavior

I'm expecting for it to save my work when I press the save button

hi @annie-kim25

It's a bit hard to track down as-is since there aren't any steps to reproduce, so anything extra you can give us would really help narrow it down.

Could you grab some info from Chrome's dev tools next time it happens? Hit F12 (or Cmd+Option+I on Mac) and click over to the Network tab, then leave that open and hit Save. You should see a request pop up, something like PUT /projects/.... If you click on it and screenshot what shows up, that'd help a lot. The status code is really the main thing I'm looking for. And if there's anything red in the Console tab, a screenshot of that too.

The reason I'm asking is that bit about signing out and back in fixing it for a while. Makes me think your session might be quietly expiring and the editor isn't picking up on it, which would also explain the weird "saved X seconds ago" showing up right next to "Failure to save". If that request is coming back a 401 or 403 then that's probably what's going on.

Also, does this happen on one particular sketch or all of them? And is it a big one, lots of files or any large images in there?
